I should add that I felt completely rotten during treatment but I continued to work full time.  Treatment was very rough for me but it was doable.

I wasn't sick before doing treatment yet my docs and I believe I had Hep C for 53 years when I was diagnosed in 2008.  I guess I did have bouts of being tired after a full work day but I passed it off as just being, well, tired.  I am now  26 months post treatment and I feel wonderful.  I'm 56, work full time, chase after 2 one year old grand daughters frequently, keep up my 1/2 acre lot, garden, lots of flowers, etc., exercise and, well...live.  Life is good.

I'm doing the Tx for the third time...guess I'm a slow learner. I felt no lasting effects from the previous 2 tries.  I'm in my 16th week of this round and have been undetectable at week 8 and 12...just did my 16 week draw Friday...side effects much more severe than the 2 previous txs. I'm also now in my 60s and have had C for more than 40 years..this is my last try for sure unless they find that 2 aspirins work....I know lots of people that have gone through it and only one that complains of never getting over the side effects of tx...you'll be fine.

hi ..i hope this helps a little bit...

ive been thru 6 month of interferon and riba twice ...and both times almost immediately after tx ..i felt like a god.. i swear i had not post term sx and the virus was suppressed ... it was awesome.. ! i did relapse both times in 3 to 6 months and then i felt the typical hep c sides of depression and stuff .creeping back....but it was amazing how much better i felt.. i was in my 20/ and 30's and only stage 1 or 2 at the time so i was pretty healthy and i did exercise thru tx a moderate amount.. but  for me ..that stuff was out of my system fast ..
this time i did incivek for 12 weeks in addition and i did get evr @ 2 weeks so i'm pretty optimistic about svr ... the incivik sx did take a while to go away .. but thats gone now..
i dont know alot about long term sides ... i only have one friend who went thru tx ... he bounced back just like me and he got svr the first time..
all the best !!!
